Out Board PA
Locked

I picked up the outboard PA/Tuner Kat100/KPA100
in one box. I went to turn on the PA in the K2 But All it has is (PA --) I cannot change the -- to on/ off or whatever. Does the Io cable have to hooked up for those? I am in the middle of modifying My KI02 cable to match the KAT100 Which I assume is the Input to run the tuner and the amp is this true? Also is there any docs on doing this anywhere?

Hi David,
I also have my KPA100 and KAT100 in a separate EC2 enclosure and yes you have to connect the I/O cable from the K2 to either the KPA100 or KAT100 I/O ports. After the K2 initiates communication with one of those two modules, you will be able to turn on the PA option in the K2. Lyle, KK7P, has a nice web page that describes the process of placing the KPA100 in a separate enclosure and how to hook it all up. http://www.kk7p.com/k2kpa100.html Since you have the KIO2 module in your K2, the bottom end of the page will pertain to your operation. 73, Dave W8FGU > -----Original Message----- > From: [hidden email] [mailto:elecraft- > [hidden email]] On Behalf Of David N. > Sent: Sunday, April 13, 2008 11:00 AM > To: [hidden email] > Subject: [Elecraft] Out Board PA > > I picked up the outboard PA/Tuner Kat100/KPA100 > in one box.

I had a K2 for a while, long story. It was the 10 watt version and I had
planned to connect it to my Ameritron ALS-500 which I run on my base station. It needs only the "PTT" signal from the radio (available on most radios) to go to transmit mode. I'm sure I could have found one on the K2. It is a 500 watt amp with 100 watts in BUT testing with 10 Watts in gives 160 watts out. It would have worked fine but do not have the K2 any longer. You could likely use almost any amp (use the necessary isolation relay so as not to damage the radio). K3 on order. 73, Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Van Wallaghen" <[hidden email]> To: "'David N.'" <[hidden email]>; <[hidden email]> Sent: Sunday, April 13, 2008 10:30 AM Subject: RE: [Elecraft] Out Board PA > Hi David, > > I also have my KPA100 and KAT100 in a separate EC2 enclosure and yes you > have to connect the I/O cable from the K2 to either the KPA100 or KAT100 I/O > ports.
